Chapter 364: Finding Every Way
"You've rejected me twice. Three times is the best strategy, right?" Yu Tingfeng said this suddenly while looking at the booklet in his hand.
Zhu Mingbo, who was busy at the side, looked up in confusion.
"Reject?" he couldn't help but say aloud.
What? I must have heard wrong. I got rejected twice? Huh?
He rubbed his forehead.
Now he has to check all the evidence of the crimes of the Jingtong City defender, thoroughly investigate officials at all levels, and manage Jingtong City at the same time. He can't just leave the city without anyone in charge because the border city is often more important than the inner city.
Just as he was about to ask, he saw Yu Mingchang winking at him, signaling him not to say anything or ask, and to pretend he didn't hear.
"Chang, do you think I'm sick? I have a headache, my eyes hurt, and my waist hurts..."
Seeing that no one responded to him, Yu Tingfeng started again.
"Okay, I'll go call Lao Yu." Yu Mingchang stood up quickly.
"Forget it! He can't figure it out!" Yu Tingfeng threw the booklet away.
"Okay." Yu Mingchang then stepped back.
"My lord, I have screened these officials at all levels, you..." Zhu Mingbo held up a pile of booklets.
"Just look at it, I have a headache."
"Yes. Also, regarding the military and political affairs..."
"You decide. My eyes hurt."
"Yes, then, your choice of city defender..."
"It's up to you. You're doing a great job, right? Why don't we just stay here? I really like it here."
......
Zhu Mingbo's mind was filled with a hundred thousand questions.
If you don't want to read the official book, I will kill the bad ones and keep the good ones.
It’s fine if you don’t care about military and political affairs. I can just replace the general, deputy general and commander of the garrison.
But? But~! Have you ever seen a third-rank official serving as a city defender?!
ha? !
I, the top scholar! You want me to be the city defender?!
I was the first to initiate the new reforms, the target of the old laws, I took all the blame and took all the responsibility. Now they want me to be the city's defender?!
That's fine, he didn't give me the promised princess, he didn't give me the promised princess, and he even asked me to stay in the border town to serve. If you're careful, I'll go to another country to be a prince consort! There are still many things around here!
Zhu Mingbo cursed Yu Tingfeng a thousand times in his heart and beat him a thousand times, but he looked calm. Finally, he uttered a word from between his teeth.
"yes."
"Promote her one level to the second rank, and double her salary. Also, if she makes some achievements, Princess Xiulan will be old enough to get married." Yu Tingfeng glanced at him.
Zhu Mingbo stood up from his chair and knelt down in front of Yu Tingfeng: "Thank you... Master."
"What do you think? How about turning this into a villa?" Yu Tingfeng raised his eyebrows.
"Okay! Of course it's good! I'm tired of staying in Wudu, it's nice to change places! This Jingtong! Three dynasties ago, it was not considered a border area, it was considered the middle, and it almost became Wudu..." Zhu Mingbo began to test.
"Akira understands me."
Zhu Mingbo sighed.
How could you not understand? That's all you have to say.
Oh, now there seems to be something more.
What's the matter? I'm sick, and it's incurable.
"Are you scolding me?" Yu Tingfeng asked.
"ah?"
"I know you're cursing me in your heart. I can see it from your expression."
"I dare not."
"You wouldn't dare. You feel uncomfortable all over. I'll go out for a walk. You take your time!" Yu Tingfeng stood up.
Zhu Mingbo hurried to help open the door and said, "You can go now. It's better not to come back. You don't help with any work and you're just looking for trouble. I might as well stay in this room alone."
"Write back and tell them to take turns coming here to see me if there's anything important. It's not far, right? I've already set the departure and return times. Given their abilities, I think they can do it. If not, just replace them."
"Yes." Zhu Mingbo almost died of laughter when he looked at Yu Tingfeng's back. Anyone who followed him to become an official would be in great trouble.
When Yu Tingfeng and Feng Aoqing were chatting, they talked about the official road.
Feng Aoqing explained to him the advantages of the highway, which touched his heart. This was something he had always cared about. If the road was not built during non-wartime, it would be too late to build it during wartime.
He mentioned it several times, but the guys in Wudu all felt that the current road was fine and that repairing it would be a waste of time and money, so they opposed it.
Many of them have never been patrol officers, which means they have basically never left Wudu. There is no waterway along the way, so let them come to Jingtong to try out the power of the official road.
It is early summer now, cool in the morning and evening, and hot in the afternoon.
"I feel a tightness in my chest..." After walking out for a few steps, Yu Tingfeng started again.
Yesterday, Yu Mingchang prepared a bath for him. Just as he closed the door, he heard a "wow" from inside. He thought, "Could he be scalded?" He was scared to death. He had clearly tested the water temperature!
When he rushed in, he saw that his master had poured a basin of cold water over his head.
It’s not time to take a cold shower yet!
Then I will definitely catch a cold...ah...ah...My Lord, you are so thoughtful.
He rolled his eyes at his master at that moment, not knowing whether his master saw it or not.
However, Yu Tingfeng didn't expect that he practiced martial arts every day and was in good health, so this little bit of cold water would not make him sick at all.
Then, I thought about it all day today to see what kind of illness I should pretend to have.
"My lord, I don't think this trick will work. It really won't work. Who is she? If you pretend to be sick, how can she not see it?" Yu Mingchang advised.
Yu Tingfeng sighed and came up with an idea: "Then I ask her to help check the counterfeit medicine we intercepted? Didn't she agree to it?"
"Master, she must know that Lao Yu can see through those things. It's definitely not okay for you to show them to her from such a distance. It's too obvious!" Yu Mingchang advised again.
"Then give me some advice."
"I..." Yu Mingchang shook his head violently.
"I received a letter from home saying that the old princess is not in good health...even the imperial physician can't see her." Yu Yichen said lightly.
The other two's eyes lit up.
"Take the letter and set off!" Yu Tingfeng made the decision immediately.
The old princess is Yu Tingfeng's aunt and treats him well, but she is quite old and her health has been getting worse in recent years.
Of course, her letters were usually exaggerated, mostly saying that she had taken a fancy to a girl from another family and wanted him to go back and get married.
Other things cannot be brought back, but being sick is probably okay.
So Yu Tingfeng is not so anxious.
But he had to speak about this matter urgently. It would be best if he could ask Feng Aoqing to return to Wudu to help with the medical treatment. Wouldn't that be perfect?
Perfect.
"Chen, Shang, tell me what you want."
Yu Yichen shook his head: "It is my duty to share my lord's worries."
As he said that, he went to prepare the car and the boat.
He usually doesn't ask others to do these things, and feels at ease when doing them himself.
Yu Mingchang watched him leave, and then said to Yu Tingfeng: "Master, this kid is in trouble. I saw him smile, that's it!"
Yu Mingchang made a gesture of pulling the corners of his mouth.
